susie

I wanted to post before I went to bed, If I am repeating myself, I apologize, this is my first RR sooooo with that said... I know we post when we recieve and when we send it out, but do we send out with delivery confirmation/priority mail, and post it here?

Since I was lazy and didn't collect any seeds, I will put in a some books of postage stamps so whoever needs to use them please do so, and extra seed bags. I'm sure there will be room for those.

OFF to bed I go, I work crazy hours, but I'm going to love them during the growing season.

Thanks to everyone!

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

today I will be putting the robin in the mail .

susie

susie

Can I send out to the next player?

That'll be taken to the PO at 10, so don't go looking for it before then.
Thanks, and sorry for the little hiccup.

Anyway, the number I gave you is evidently wrong. That was the number of the package, not the DC...

Third time lucky, right? Ok, for real this time...this is the DC# on MY portion of the online label record:

0103 8555 7499 0493 5528 Really.

And for what it's worth, Girl-Clerk at the Concord PO decided that "we don't scan those" and just took the package to the bin. (Since when? Every time I bring stuff in with postage already on it, the guy types it all in, checks it, and gives me a "0.00" receipt with all the DC#s and destination Zips...

Whatever. So if the number is in the system, great. If it's not, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Really.

Shirley

I will put my packs in tonight and mail to Beth tomorrow.

Susie I assume this is OK and Beth is ready for her turn?
You did an excellent job with the organizing of the package.

Shirley

To get rid of the ads: If using IE:
Tools, Options, Programs, Manage Add-ons...
when the list comes up, find the one for Shockwave macromedia, and it'll likely say "enabled." Highlight it, and in the gray part of the box, click the 'disable' button.

Wah-lah...ads gone.
However, any other sites that use shockwave (like forums with a live-chat feature (not aol) may not work until you allow the Active-X control again.

HTH!

susie

Susie, glad you liked the charm & you do with it as you wish. Just thought it might make you smile. ;)

LIFE IS GOOD,

Looking forward to wading thru all the seeds!

Have a wonderful week ladies,
Tina

Deb

Thanks, Tina

The box arrived yesterday. I haven't had the time to get thru it yet. Have had a house full of kids all weekend.
I will try and get it back out Tuesday. Monday is going to be a full day for me. I have doctors appointments most of the day in a different town than I live in.
I will post an update Tuesday.

Thanks,
Tina

I took out some clover seeds, tulip tree seeds, and some marigolds. Put in a few goodies to replace these. Thanks for the great robin Susie!

Tina

Deb

Deb

Tina
Just wanted to give you the chance to send MY 113 pks of seed you took out of the robin back to me within the next week or I will post what you have done .

Rule Of thumb replace what you take . I have the list as to what you took & If I have to
I will do the list in the post to let other know how dishonest you was .
Its your choice do the right thing or it will be posted .
I Knew from the 1st one that went around you took more then you said & did not put back in but had no proof. this time I do .
when you send everything back to me & I check it off the list & it is all there all will be find No more said about this . I want the all the veggies , trees , sages , bird of paradise, snowball bush, the list goes on .
if you try to pass off other then what is on this , it will be posted.
so I want them in the mail No later then MONDAY Mar 26th,
priority conf# sent to me .
if I do not hear from you with this information by Monday 5pm my time .
there will be a list of all the seeds that you took out of the robin that others in our group have missed out on .
we will see who will ever want to trade with you again .
I will also post it in the rating forum . this was so unfair to the others in the group & once they compare the list
they will see how dishonest you was in our group.
Tina there is no love loss in this & you want to spread things about me this is your way but no one can say I was ever as dishonest as you .
if I don't hear back from you with the conf# by Monday , trust me it will be posted .
your threat Don't work on me ,
Susie

Now, First off, I don't have a clue as to the " threats" you are referring to. You can explain that.

As far as the seeds go, Micke was right before me, and Debbya was right after me, so I am sure they can attest to what was in the box when they had it.

I posted exactly what I took out, and I REPLACED with other seed packs.

If you go look in the seed trading forums, you'll see that I have been trying to get rid of most of my seeds for the past two months or more. Why would I want to take out 113 more packets of seeds? Susie, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary that no-one else doesn't have in that box.

Now, if you would please quit e-mailing me with threats of things you KNOW are dishonest, I would appreciate it.
I can't help that Elizabeths box is stuck out there somewhere. The DC# shows I sent it. Thats what this is REALLY about isn't it? You've already kicked me out of OBF because of it. Now just let it be.

Tina

what this is about is Honesty, my list of 323pks to you showed a shortage from you to debby who counted 210 pks,
Do the MATH.

I would not have cared that you take 20-30 pks & put in 10 of anything else but that was not done .

its not the fact You took the seeds from me or my robin I started If you was going to use them . But in truth you trade them off also .

trust in the group was why we started this group & you have not realy been that honest .
I just want to say at this point if I get booted for this being brought up on the forum "BY TINA".
This Is ok . you all will do fine . as long as you
open your eye's to some trader 's . check out their rating system's & forum .

anyway Tina you have to live with the fact of what you done ,I have the fact or proof . & the fact I have nothing
to be sorry about .

like I said if I get booted at lease I have honesty on my side :)))

susie

susie

I'll go ahead and dig through the contents (there are 3 large ziplock bags full of seeds!). From there I'll remove and refill.

Thanks for waiting on me! I'll get this box out in the mail tomorrow after posting here about it.

maybe we better mark our boxes seeds or plants :)))
plants don't live long in a box .

thank you all for a great robin & it is now homeward bound . or soon :)))
happy gardening my friends

susie

I know your feelings concerning efrosty and the situation that occured. I accept that (I know, as if I had any other choice, right) So, I wish you the best.

Thanks ladies, for including me in this swap. I'm glad I got to know many of you. Thanks for everything :-)

Happy Gardening,Tina

as for taken so many packs of seed's, did not bother me it was the fact that there was some that had 2-3 pks alike
that were taken . that maybe others in the group might of like to try .
& all seed robins I have ever been in
rule has always been just replace what you take out .
this was not done .

its all about honesty. to yourself & your friends .
guess I wasn't a friend to who took from me right ?

well another robin about over thank you all.
Trully if I sound hurt , I guess it is true
for I guess maybe I take Truth & Honesty very
sincerly in my home & life .

I 'am the kind of lady that if you hurt me once same
on you.
but hurt me twice same on me .
life goes on when you can forgive,

All is forgiven .
But Not all is forgotten .

susie

Susie - I didn't "take" anything from "you" or anyone else.
I don't kow how many times I have to tell you that I didn't take all the seeds you claim to be missing. I, too, am a very honest person. Almost to a fault as I have been told.
Your post to my name in the rate and review forum wasn't a bit honest. I've tried over and over with you. I thought over Christmas, when you wanted me to bring you two puppies, that you had gotten passed all this crap. I honestly don't know what started all this to being with.

I was sincere in my earlier post and you was sincerely rude and sarcastic in yours. I'm through trying.

Tina

As for the seed robin thank you for letting us know slow down girl let hubby pick up some of the load :)))) .
we miss you when your away .

NO BINGO TODAY :( so going to lay back put in a few movies today.

would anyone like to swap dvd movies or vhs moving
here in the group just pass then around ????
if so email me I will start a New sign up forum & we can list what we have to share .
I have about 20 or more. we can limit 3-4 a week ??? never done this . so maybe let me know .

susie

In any case, I took 28 seed packs and replaced them with 32 of my own. A big thanks to those girls who put empty seed packages into the robin. I ran out of ziplocks and put the spares to good use. :)

Ok... I'm off to take yet another nap. Thanks for a great swap!

anyway thank you all for the great seeds will proble
share many of them with the new gals in the seed forum
after i get what i want out of them .
many of these i plan9 to plant in the one field way out back that way if the deer want to munch they will stay out of my front beds :)))
looking forward to sharing plants with you all for years to come .

happy gardening this swap is closed .
